1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONSSAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the installation andmaintenance of the Liebert® Mini-Mate2. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to install oroperate this unit.

Only qualified personnel should move, install or service this equipment.

Adhere to all warnings, cautions, notices and installation, operating and safety instructions on the unitand in this manual. Follow all installation, operation and maintenance instructions and all applicablenational and local building, electrical and plumbing codes.

WARNING! Arc flash and electric shock hazard. Open all local and remote electric power-supplydisconnect switches, verify with a voltmeter that power is Off and wear appropriate, OSHA-approved personal protective equipment (PPE) per NFPA 70E before working within theelectric control enclosure. Failure to comply can cause serious injury or death. Customer mustprovide earth ground to unit, per NEC, CEC and local codes, as applicable. Before proceedingwith installation, read all instructions, verify that all the parts are included and check thenameplate to be sure the voltage matches available utility power. The Liebert® controller doesnot isolate power from the unit, even in the “Unit Off” mode. Some internal components requireand receive power even during the “Unit Off” mode of the controller. The only way to ensurethat there is NO voltage inside the unit is to install and open a remote disconnect switch. Referto unit electrical schematic. Follow all local codes.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause equipment damage, injury or death. Open all localand remote electric power supply disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that power isoff before working within any electric connection enclosures. Service and maintenance workmust be performed only by properly trained and qualified personnel and in accordance withapplicable regulations and manufacturers’ specifications. Opening or removing the covers toany equipment may expose personnel to lethal voltages within the unit even when it isapparently not operating and the input wiring is disconnected from the electrical source.


WARNING! Risk of over-pressurization of the refrigeration system. Can cause piping rupture,explosive discharge of high-pressure refrigerant, loss of refrigerant, environmental pollution,equipment damage, injury, or death. This unit contains fluids and gases under high pressure.Use extreme caution when charging the refrigerant system. Do not pressurize the systemhigher than the design pressure marked on the unit's nameplate. Relieve pressure beforecutting into or making connections/disconnections to the piping system. Local building orplumbing codes may require installing a pressure-relief device in the system.

Consult local building and plumbing codes for installation requirements of additional pressure-relief devices when isolation valves are field installed. Do not isolate any refrigerant circuitsfrom over pressurization protection. The PFH condensing units include a factory-installedpressure-relief valve mounted on top of the receiver. The valve is rated for a maximum workingpressure of 475 psig.

WARNING! Risk of contact with high-speed, rotating fan blades. Can cause injury or death.Open all local and remote electric power-supply disconnect switches, verify with a voltmeterthat power is off, and verify that all fan blades have stopped rotating before working in the unitcabinet.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause serious injury or death. The microprocessor doesnot isolate power from the unit, even in the "Unit Off" mode. Some internal components requireand receive power even during the "unit off" mode of the control. Open all local and remoteelectric power disconnect switches and verify with a voltmeter that power is Off before workingon any component of the system.

WARNING! Risk of improper wiring, piping, moving, lifting and handling. Can cause equipmentdamage, serious injury or death. Installation and service of this equipment should be done onlyby qualified personnel, wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE, who have been specially-trained in the installation of air-conditioning equipment.

WARNING! Risk of improper wire and loose electrical connections. Can cause overheated wireand electrical connection terminals resulting in smoke, fire, equipment and building damage,injury or death. Use correctly sized copper wire only and verify that all electrical connections aretight before turning power On. Check all electrical connections periodically and tighten asnecessary.

WARNING! Risk of ceiling collapse and heavy unit falling. Can cause building and equipmentdamage, serious injury or death. Verify that the supporting roof structure is capable ofsupporting the weight of the unit(s) and the accessories. See Table 3.5 on page 19, for the unitweights. Securely anchor the top ends of the suspension rods and verify that all nuts are tight.

Vertiv | Liebert® Mini-Mate2™ Installer/User Guide2

WARNING! Risk of smoke and fire. Can cause activation of fire suppression systems, buildingevacuation, dispatching of fire/rescue equipment and personnel and catastrophic canisterfailure resulting in water leaks, equipment damage, injury or death. Using a humidifier canisterthat has reached the end of it’s service life can be extremely hazardous. If the canister cannotbe replaced immediately at the end of life condition, turn Off the power and water supply to thehumidifier and remove the canister until a replacement canister can be installed. Do not ignorehumidifier problem alarms. Resetting humidifier without addressing cause may result in fire ordamage due to leaking water.

CAUTION: Risk of excessive refrigerant line pressure. Can cause tubing and componentrupture resulting in equipment damage and personal injury. Do not close off any field-installedrefrigerant-line isolation valve for repairs unless a pressure-relief valve is field- installed in theline between the isolation valve and the check valve. The pressure-relief valve must be rated 5%to 10% higher than the system-design pressure. An increase in ambient temperature can causethe pressure of the isolated refrigerant to rise and exceed the system-design pressure rating(marked on the unit nameplate).

CAUTION: Risk of contact with sharp edges, splinters, and exposed fasteners. Can causeinjury. Only properly trained and qualified personnel wearing appropriate, OSHA-approved PPEshould attempt to move, lift, remove packaging from or prepare the unit for installation.

CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause injury. The compressor, refrigerantdischarge lines, fan motor, and some electrical components are extremely hot during unitoperation. Allow sufficient time for them to cool to a touch-safe temperature before workingwithin the unit cabinet. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate, OSHA-approved PPE whenworking on or near hot components.

CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause burn injury. The humidifier canisterand steam discharge lines are extremely hot during operation. Allow sufficient time for them tocool to a touch-safe temperature before handling. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate,OSHA-approved PPE when performing maintenance on the humidifier.

CAUTION: Risk of contacting caustic substances. Can cause injury. Avoid touching orcontacting the gas and oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Wear appropriate,OSHA-approved PPE when handling contaminated parts.


CAUTION: Risk of the grille falling. Can cause equipment damage or injury. Do not allow theweight of the unit to rest on the grilles.

NOTICE

Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.

Liebert® Mini-Mate2 DX systems require the use of POE (polyolester) oil. POE oil absorbs waterat a much faster rate when exposed to air than previously used oils. Because water is theenemy of a reliable refrigeration system, extreme care must be used when opening systemsduring installation or service. If water is absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removedand will not be removed through the normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it mayrequire an oil change. POE oils also have a property that makes them act as a solvent in arefrigeration system. Maintaining system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil willtend to bring any foreign matter back to the compressor.

NOTICE

Risk of clogged or leaking drain lines and leaking water-supply lines. Can cause equipment andbuilding damage.

This unit requires a water drain connection. Drain lines must be inspected at start-up andperiodically, and maintenance must be performed to ensure that drain water runs freelythrough the drain system and that lines are clear and free of obstructions and in goodcondition with no visible sign of damage or leaks. This unit may also require an external watersupply to operate.

Improper installation, application and service practices can result in water leakage from theunit. Water leakage can result in catastrophic and expensive building and equipment damageand loss of critical data center equipment.

Do not locate unit directly above any equipment that could sustain water damage.

We recommend installing a monitored fluid-detection system to immediately discover andreport coolant-fluid system and condensate drain-line leaks.

NOTICE

Risk of leaking water/glycol. Can cause equipment and building damage.

Improper installation, application, and service practices can result in water leakage from theunit. Do not mount this unit over equipment and furniture that can be damaged by leakingwater. Install a water-tight drain pan with a drain connection under the cooling unit and theceiling mounted water/glycol condensing unit. Route the drain line to a frequently-usedmaintenance sink so that running water can be observed and reported in a timely manner.Post a sign to alert people to report water flowing from the secondary drain pan. Werecommend installing monitored leak detection equipment for the unit and supply lines and inthe secondary drain pan. Check drain lines periodically for leaks, sediment buildup,obstructions, kinks and/or damage and verify that they are free running.


NOTICE

Risk of piping-system corrosion and freezing fluids. Can cause leaks resulting in equipmentand very expensive building damage. Cooling coils and piping systems are at high risk offreezing and premature corrosion. Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreezeand inhibitors to prevent freezing and premature coil and piping corrosion. The water orwater/glycol solution must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist beforestart up to establish the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularlyscheduled intervals throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitordepletion.

The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of requiredtreatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent andexperienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid systemmaintenance program.

Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors, thatreduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The chemistryof the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may contain corrosiveelements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation. Sediment deposits preventthe formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the coolant system components andpiping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and circulating through the systemcontinuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and or growth of sulfate reducingbacteria.

Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.

Commercial ethylene glycol, when pure, is generally less corrosive to the common metals ofconstruction than water itself. It will, however, assume the corrosivity of the water from which itis prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with use if not properly inhibited.

We recommend installing a monitored fluid-detection system that is wired to activate theautomatic-closure of field-installed coolant-fluid supply and return shut-off valves to reducethe amount of coolant-fluid leakage and consequential equipment and building damage. Theshut-off valves must be sized to close-off against the maximum coolant-fluid system pressurein case of a catastrophic fluid leak.

NOTICE

Risk of frozen pipes and corrosion from improper coolant mixture. Can cause water leaksresulting in equipment and building damage.

When piping or the cooling unit may be exposed to freezing temperatures, charge the systemwith the proper percentage of glycol and water for the coldest design ambient temperature.Automotive antifreeze is unacceptable and must NOT be used in any glycol fluid system. Useonly HVAC glycol solution that meets the requirements of recommended industry practices.


NOTICE

Risk of no-flow condition. Can cause equipment damage. Do not leave the water/coolant fluid-supply circuit in a no-flow condition. Idle fluid allows the collection of sediment that preventsthe formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of tubes. Keep unit switched On andwater/coolant fluid-supply circuit system operating continuously.

NOTICE

Risk of improper water supply. Can reduce humidifier efficiency or obstruct humidifierplumbing.

Do not use completely demineralized water with this unit. The water must contain minerals forthe electrode principle to work.

Do not use a hot water source. It will cause deposits that will eventually block the fill-valveopening.

NOTICE

Risk of water backing up in the drain line. Leaking and overflowing water can cause equipmentand building damage.

Do not install an external trap in the drain line. This line already has a factory-installed trapinside the cabinet. Installation of a second trap will prevent drain-water flow and will cause thewater to overflow the drain pan.

This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handlingboiling water for the drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create anexternal trap.

NOTICE

Risk of doorway/hallway interference. Can cause unit and/or structure damage. The unit maybe too large to fit through a doorway or hallway while on the skid. Measure the unit andpassageway dimensions, and refer to the installation plans prior to moving the unit to verifyclearances.

NOTICE

Risk of damage from forklift. Can cause unit damage. Keep tines of the forklift level and at aheight suitable to fit below the skid and/or unit to prevent exterior and/or underside damage.

NOTICE

Risk of improper storage. Can cause unit damage.

Keep the unit upright, indoors and protected from dampness, freezing temperatures andcontact damage.

Table 3.1 Dimension Planning Drawings

3.2 Room Preparation

The room should be well insulated and must have a sealed vapor barrier. The vapor barrier in the ceilingand walls can be a polyethylene film. Paint on concrete walls and floors should be vapor resistant.

NOTE: The vapor barrier is the single most important requirement for maintaining environmentalcontrol in the conditioned area.

Outside or fresh air should be kept to a minimum when tight temperature and humidity control isrequired. Outside air adds to the site’s cooling, heating, dehumidifying and humidifying loads. Doorsshould be properly sealed to minimize leaks and should not contain ventilation grilles.

NOTE: Temperature and humidity sensors are located in the wall box. Proper and efficient coolingrequires placing the wall box where discharge air does not directly blow on the sensors.

When determining installation locations, consider that these units contain water and that water leaks cancause damage to sensitive equipment and furniture below.

NOTICE




3.4.1 Location Considerations for an Outdoor Condensing Unit

For a split system with an air-cooled, outdoor condensing unit, the condensing unit may be mounted onthe roof or remotely in any outdoor area.

Observe the following when planning the installation of the outdoor unit:

• To ensure a satisfactory air supply, locate air-cooled condensing units in an environment withclear air, away from loose dirt and foreign matter that may clog the coil.

• Condensing units must not be located in the vicinity of steam, hot air or fume exhausts orcloser than 18 inches from a wall, obstruction or adjacent unit.

• Avoid areas where heavy snow will accumulate at air inlet and discharge locations.

• The condensing unit should be located for maximum security and maintenance accessibility.Avoid ground-level sites with public access. Install a solid base, capable of supporting theweight of the condensing unit.

• The base should be at least 2 in. (51 mm) higher than the surrounding grade and 2 in. (51 mm)larger than the dimensions of the condensing-unit base. For snowy areas, a base of sufficientheight to clear snow accumulation must be installed.

• Securely attach the unit to the base using the holes provided in the unit mounting rails toprevent unit movement that might stress refrigerant piping and electrical wiring.

Before beginning, refer to Piping and Refrigerant Requirements on page 27 for unit placement, pipingguidelines, and refrigerant-charge requirements for your system.

The condensing unit must be located within the maximum distance from evaporator guidelines listed inTable 5.6 on page 35.

4.2 Installing Air-distribution Components for Evaporators

Your indoor units may include a filter box, ducting, plenums, and grilles. Refer to the appropriateinstallation procedures for each.


4.2.1 Installing a Filter Box

The optional filter box attaches directly to the return-air opening of the evaporator. The filter boxincludes 1 filter, 16 in. x 20 in. x 4 in. (406 mm x 508 mm x 102 mm).

NOTE: Do not operate the unit without filters installed in return air system.

Grille Installation

CAUTION: Risk of the grille falling. Can cause equipment damage or injury. Do not allow theweight of the unit to rest on the grilles.

The airflow grilles are directional devices and MUST be installed with the louvers properly aligned for unitto operate properly. An air baffle is included with the grille kit and must be installed to ensure proper airdistribution.

To install the grilles:

1. Refer to the instructions included with the kit, and locate the return and discharge grilles.

2. Lower the grilles into place with the louvers in the proper direction. If required, grilles may bescrewed directly to the sub-base.

3. Install a field-supplied T-bar between the two grilles.

4. Install the disposable filter (20 in. x 20 in. x 1 in.) in the return grille.

5. Lower the evaporator unit until the gasket material is compressed 1/4 in. (6 mm).

NOTE: Do not operate the unit without the filter installed in the return air grille.

4 Installation 23

4.2.2 Guidelines for Ducted Systems

Observe the following for all ductwork:

• Duct work should be fabricated and installed in accordance with local and national codes

• Use flexible ductwork or nonflammable cloth collars to attach ductwork to the unit and tocontrol vibration transmission to the building.

• Attach the ductwork to the unit using the flanges provided.

• Locate the unit and ductwork so that the discharge air does not short-circuit to the return-airinlet.

• Duct work that runs through a conditioned space or is exposed to areas where condensationmay occur must be insulated. Insulation of ductwork is vital to prevent condensation duringthe cooling cycle.

• The use of a vapor barrier is required to prevent absorption of moisture from the surroundingair into the insulation.

• If the return-air duct is short or if noise is likely to be a problem, sound-absorbing insulationshould be used inside the duct.

• Duct work should be suspended using flexible hangers. Duct work should not be fasteneddirectly to the building structure.

• For multiple-unit installations, space the units so that the hot condensing unit exhaust air isnot directed toward the air inlet of an adjacent unit.

Consider the following in specific applications of ductwork to evaporator or chilled-water units:

• The total external static pressure for the inlet and outlet ducts, including grille, must notexceed 0.5 in. of water.

Consider the following in specific applications of ductwork to condensing units:

• In applications where the ceiling plenum is used as the heat rejection domain, the discharge airmust be directed away from the condensing unit air inlet and a screen must be added to theend of the discharge duct to protect service personnel. Locate the air discharge a minimum of4 ft from an adjacent wall. Failure to do so may result in reduced air flow and poor systemperformance.

• If the condensing unit draws air from the outside of the building, rain hoods must be installed.Hood intake and duct-work cross-sectional area dimensions should be equal-to or greater-than the area of the condensing unit intake flange. In addition, install a triple-layer bird screenover rain hood openings to eliminate the possibility of insects, birds, water, or debris enteringthe unit. Avoid directing the hot exhaust air toward adjacent doors or windows.

• Duct work should be designed for 950 CFM (1614 CMH).


4.3 Installing Condensing-fan Module on Self-contained Air-cooled Systems

1-ton and 1.5-ton capacity, self-contained, air-cooled units use a centrifugal blower in a housing attacheddirectly to the right end of the ceiling-mounted unit.

• Mounting holes are pre-cut at the factory and fasteners are provided.

• A wiring harness is included for the power and control connections between unit blower.

• A capillary tube is included for fan-speed control.

Read all instructions before installing the blower.

NOTICE

Risk of punctured refrigerant lines. Can cause sudden loss of refrigerant and cooling.

During mounting of external disconnect switch, take special care that no refrigerant lines arepunctured or damaged.

To mount the blower on the unit:

1. Before you begin, make sure that the model number of the kit matches the voltage on the unitnameplate because an improper voltage will damage the blower.

2. On the unit, remove the knockouts for the blower wire harness and fan-speed-control capillarytube.

3. Referring to Figure 4.2 on the next page, remove the following screws, but do not remove thetwo screws (item 7) , from either side:

• The three screws (item 2) along the top cover of the unit.

• The two screws from the upper-right and upper-left side of the condenser-coil opening.

4. With the flanges on the top and sides of the blower and the access door toward the front of theunit, place the top flange under the top cover and align the holes in the flange with the holesand threaded studs in the unit.

5. Secure the blower to the unit with 4 screws and flange nuts (item 6) on the sides (2screws/flange nuts each side), and 3 screws (item 2) along the top of the blower.

NOTE: Do not use a drill to install the screws. The drill bit will damage the coil.

6. Install the bushing (item 4) for the capillary tube, route the capillary tube through the bushingand through the knockout (item 8) to the Schrader access valve on the discharge line insidethe unit, and screw the end of the capillary tube onto the valve making sure that there are noleaks.

7. Refer to Condensing-fan Blower Electrical, Control and Power Connections on page 46, andDPN000177, included in the Submittal Drawings on page 101 to connect the blower wireharness (item 3) to the unit.

5 PIPING AND REFRIGERANT REQUIREMENTSAll field-supplied refrigeration piping to the unit must be sweat copper. Use prevailing good pipingpractices for all connections which include brazing copper pipes using a brazing alloy of minimumtemperature of 1350 °F (732 °C) and adhering to all local codes. All other fluid connections to units, withthe exception of the condensate drain, are sweat copper. Factory-installed piping brackets must not beremoved. Field-installed piping must be installed in accordance with local codes and must be properlyassembled, supported, isolated and insulated. Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas, such asoffice walls and conference rooms.

The following pipe connections are required:

• A drain line from the evaporator coil drain pan.

• A drain line from the secondary drain pan (if applicable).

• A water-supply line to the optional humidifier (if applicable).

• On split-systems systems: refrigerant piping connections between the evaporator unit and thecondensing unit.

• On chilled-water systems: connections to the building chilled-water source. See Chilled-waterLoop Piping on page 31, for additional requirements.

• On water/glycol systems: connections to a water or glycol loop. See Water/Glycol Loop Pipingon page 32, for additional requirements.

Refer to specific text and detailed diagrams in this manual for other unit-specific piping requirements.

The pipe connection locations, piping general arrangement and schematics are described in thesubmittal documents included in the Submittal Drawings on page 101.

5 Piping andRefrigerant Requirements 27

5.1 Fluid Piping Required

5.1.1 Drain Line Installation Requirements

NOTICE

Risk of water backing up in the drain line. Leaking and overflowing water can cause equipmentand building damage.

Do not install an external trap in the drain line. This line already has a factory-installed trapinside the cabinet. Installation of a second trap will prevent drain-water flow and will cause thewater to overflow the drain pan.

This line may contain boiling water. Use copper or other material that is rated for handlingboiling water for the drain line. Sagging condensate drain lines may inadvertently create anexternal trap.

A 3/4 in. (19.1 mm) NPT-female connection is provided for the evaporator-unit condensate drain. Thisconnection also drains the humidifier if applicable. The evaporator drain pan includes a float switch toprevent unit operation if the drain becomes blocked.


Observe the following requirements and refer to Figure 5.1 below, when installing and routing the drainline:

• The drain line must be sized for 2 gpm (7.6 l/m) flow.

• The drain line must be located so it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures.

• The drain should be the full size of the drain connection.

• The drain line must slope continuously away from the unit.

• Do not externally-trap the drain line.

• The drain line must be rigid enough that it does not sag between supports, whichunintentionally creates traps.

• Use copper or other material suitable for draining water that can reach temperatures up to212°F (100°C).

• When the evaporator is installed below the level of the gravity-fed drain line, the optionalcondensate pump kit is required. See Condensate-drain Pump Kit on the next page.

NOTE: Remove the shipping band from the float switch in the evaporator pan before operating theunit.

Table 5.3 Gravity-fed Drain Line Figure Descriptions


5.1.2 Condensate-drain Pump Kit


The optional condensate pump kit is required when the evaporator is installed below the level of thegravity-fed drain line. The condensate pump is field-installed alongside the evaporator unit.


DPN000174 Field-installed pump connection

Table 5.4 Condensate-drain Pump Drawings

To install the condensate-drain pump:

1. Refer to the instructions and drawings supplied with the pump. The preferred mountingmethod is to attach the pump to the unit with the mounting-bracket kit instead of mountingthe pump to duct work.

2. Disconnect all power to the unit.

3. Remove the access panels.

NOTE: Remove the shipping band from the float switch in the evaporator pan.

4. Use mounting brackets if the pump is not attached to ductwork.

5. The pump inlet must be at least 1/2 in. (13 mm) below the evaporator drain. Mount the pump tothe unit exterior as shown the piping-connection diagram for your unit, see Table 5.4 above.

6. Connect 3/4 in. flexible rubber tubing with a hose clamp (both supplied with pump kit) to the3/4 in. hose barb fitting on the pump.

7. Connect the evaporator drain to 3/4 in. NPT female hose assembly on the pump inlet using 3/4in. hard pipe. Do not install a trap in the line. Provide at least 1 in. (25 mm) clearance betweenthe access panel and the drain line. Support the piping as required.

8. Connect a drain line to the pump discharge 3/8 in. O.D. Cu (compression fitting provided).

9. Connect electric leads L1 and L2 to the unit line-voltage terminal block. Connect the groundlead to the lug near the terminal block.

10. Connect wires from the auxiliary pump contacts to unit terminals TB1-8 and TB1-9 to enableunit shut down upon high-water condition in the pump.

11. Reinstall the access panels.

12. Reconnect power to the unit.

13. Run the unit to make sure the pump works properly. Operate the pump and check the drainline and discharge line for leaks. Correct as needed.

NOTE: 3/4-in. flexible rubber tubing assembly (supplied with pump kit) must be installed on pump endof rigid piping (field-provided and supported as required).


5.1.3 Water-supply line to the Humidifier

Units supplied with the optional humidifier package have a 1/4-in. (6.2-mm) OD copper compressionfitting with ferrule at the water-supply connection.

• The supply pressure range is 10 psig to 150 psig (69 to 1034 kPag).

• The required flow rate is 1 gpm (3.8 lpm).

• Install a shut-off valve in the supply line to isolate the humidifier for maintenance.

NOTE: Do not route humidifier water-supply line in front of the filter-box access panel.

To install the water supply:

1. Cut the tube square and remove any burrs.

2. Slide nut, then the sleeve on tube. The threaded end of the nut faces the end of the tube.

3. Insert the tube into the fitting, seating it against the stop shoulder and tighten the nut hand-tight to the body.

4. Use a wrench to tighten the nut 1-1/4 to 2-1/4 turns.

NOTICE

Risk of improper tightening of the piping fittings. Can damage fittings and cause leaks.

Use caution not to over-tighten or under-tighten the piping fittings.

5.1.4 Chilled-water Loop Piping

NOTICE

Risk of piping-system corrosion and freezing fluids. Can cause leaks resulting in equipmentand very expensive building damage. Cooling coils and piping systems are at high risk offreezing and premature corrosion. Fluids in these systems must contain the proper antifreezeand inhibitors to prevent freezing and premature coil and piping corrosion. The water orwater/glycol solution must be analyzed by a competent local water treatment specialist beforestart up to establish the inhibitor and antifreeze solution requirement and at regularlyscheduled intervals throughout the life of the system to determine the pattern of inhibitordepletion.

The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of requiredtreatment programs make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent andexperienced water treatment specialist and follow a regularly scheduled coolant fluid systemmaintenance program.

Water chemistry varies greatly by location, as do the required additives, called inhibitors, thatreduce the corrosive effect of the fluids on the piping systems and components. The chemistryof the water used must be considered, because water from some sources may contain corrosiveelements that reduce the effectiveness of the inhibited formulation. Sediment deposits preventthe formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside of the coolant system components andpiping. The water/coolant fluid must be treated and circulating through the systemcontinuously to prevent the buildup of sediment deposits and or growth of sulfate reducingbacteria.


Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the system.Consult glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors.

Commercial ethylene glycol, when pure, is generally less corrosive to the common metals ofconstruction than water itself. It will, however, assume the corrosivity of the water from which itis prepared and may become increasingly corrosive with use if not properly inhibited.

We recommend installing a monitored fluid-detection system that is wired to activate theautomatic-closure of field-installed coolant-fluid supply and return shut-off valves to reducethe amount of coolant-fluid leakage and consequential equipment and building damage. Theshut-off valves must be sized to close-off against the maximum coolant-fluid system pressurein case of a catastrophic fluid leak.

NOTICE

Risk of no-flow condition. Can cause equipment damage.

Do not leave the water/coolant fluid-supply circuit in a no-flow condition. Idle fluid allows thecollection of sediment that prevents the formation of a protective oxide layer on the inside oftubes. Keep unit switched On and water/coolant fluid-supply circuit system operatingcontinuously.

See Table 5.5 below, for the chilled-water loop requirements.

Install manual service shutoff valves at the supply and return lines of each unit. These shutoff valves areused for routine service and for emergency isolation of the unit.

Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the recommended,field-installed hardware such as shut-off valves and hose bibs. See Table 5.1 on page 27.

NOTE: Chilled-water supply and return lines must be insulated to prevent condensation of the lines.

5.1.5 Water/Glycol Loop Piping

NOTICE

Risk of frozen pipes and corrosion from improper coolant mixture. Can cause water leaksresulting in equipment and building damage.

When piping or the cooling unit may be exposed to freezing temperatures, charge the systemwith the proper percentage of glycol and water for the coldest design ambient temperature.Automotive antifreeze is unacceptable and must NOT be used in any glycol fluid system. Useonly HVAC glycol solution that meets the requirements of recommended industry practices.

Do not use galvanized pipe.

Install manual service shut-off valves at the supply and return line to each unit. This permits routineservice and emergency isolation of the unit. Refer to the appropriate submittal drawing for the piping-connection sizes of your unit, see Table 5.2 on page 27.


Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the recommended,field-installed hardware such as shut-off valves. See Table 5.1 on page 27.

When the fluid quality is poor, we recommend installing a 16-20# mesh Y-strainer filter in the supply lineto extend the service life of the coaxial condensers. These filters must be easily replaced or cleaned.

The standard maximum fluid pressure is 150 psig (1034 kPa) and 350 psig (2413 kPa) for high-pressuresystems. For applications above this pressure, contact a Vertiv representative.

The water/glycol-cooled system will operate in conjunction with a cooling tower, city water or drycooler.

NOTE: HVAC-grade ethylene or propylene glycol should be used on glycol systems. Automotiveantifreeze must not be used.

Water/Glycol-coolant Regulating Valve

Water/glycol-cooled units include a coolant-flow regulating valve that is factory-adjusted and should notneed field adjustment.

Standard-pressure and high-pressure valves are adjusted differently. Contact Vertiv technical supportbefore making any adjustments.

5.1.6 Free-cooling Coil Piping

An optional, free-cooling coil outlet can be field-piped to the condensing-unit inlet on water-cooledsystems if a 3-way regulating valve is installed inside the water/glycol condensing unit.

Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the details of a free-cooling coil installation. See Table 5.1 on page 27.

NOTE: If the free-cooling coil is piped to an open water tower, a CU/NI (copper-nickel) type coil mustbe ordered to prevent corrosion of the copper tubes, or a heat exchanger must separate the towerwater from the free-cooling loop.

5.1.7 Hot-water Reheat Coil Piping

On chilled-water systems, building hot water can be piped to a factory-installed hot water reheat coil,located downstream of the cooling coil. A factory-installed solenoid valve opens upon a call for reheat.

Refer to the appropriate piping general-arrangement schematics for your system for the details of a hot-water reheat coil installation. See Piping General-arrangement Drawings on page 27.


5.2 Refrigerant Piping



NOTICE

Risk of oil contamination with water. Can cause equipment damage.

Liebert® Mini-Mate2 DX systems require the use of POE (polyolester) oil. POE oil absorbs waterat a much faster rate when exposed to air than previously used oils. Because water is theenemy of a reliable refrigeration system, extreme care must be used when opening systemsduring installation or service. If water is absorbed into the POE oil, it will not be easily removedand will not be removed through the normal evacuation process. If the oil is too wet, it mayrequire an oil change. POE oils also have a property that makes them act as a solvent in arefrigeration system. Maintaining system cleanliness is extremely important because the oil willtend to bring any foreign matter back to the compressor.

NOTICE

Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.

Refrigerant charge must be weighed into compressorized split systems before they are started.

Self-contained systems are factory-charged. To optimize the refrigerant charge on water/glycol units, seeOptimizing Refrigerant Charge on Water/Glycol Units on page 41.

Split systems require 2 refrigerant lines between the evaporator and the condensing unit:

• 1 insulated copper suction line

• 1 copper liquid line


Observe the following requirements for all field-supplied refrigeration piping:

• All piping must be ACR-type copper.

• For all piping connections, use prevailing good piping practices, which includes brazing copperpipes using a brazing alloy of a minimum temperature of 1350°F (732°C) and adhere to localcodes.

• Factory-installed piping brackets must not be removed.

• Piping must be installed in accordance with local codes, and must be properly assembled,supported, isolated, and insulated.

• Use prevailing good refrigeration practices such as piping supports, leak testing, evacuation,dehydration and charging of the refrigeration circuits.

• Isolate the refrigeration piping from the building with vibration-isolating supports.

• Avoid piping runs through noise-sensitive areas such as office walls and conference rooms.

• When sealing openings in walls and to reduce vibration transmission, use a soft, flexiblematerial to pack around the tubes to prevent tube damage.

• When installing remote condensing units above the evaporator, the suction gas lines should betrapped at the evaporator. These traps will retain refrigerant oil in the off cycle. When the unitstarts, oil in the traps is carried up the vertical risers and returns to the compressors.

5.2.1 Piping when Condensing Unit is Above or Below Evaporator

Refer to Table 5.6 below, for the maximum vertical rise/fall between condensing unit and evaporator.

When installing remote condensing units above the evaporator, trap the suction gas line at theevaporator as shown in Figure 5.2 on the next page. This trap will retain refrigerant oil during the "Off"cycle. When the unit starts, oil in the trap is carried up the vertical riser and returns to the compressor. Forrises over 25 ft (7.6 m), trap every 20 ft (6 m) or evenly divided.

When installing remote condensing units below the evaporator, trap the suction gas line with an invertedtrap the height of the evaporator as shown Figure 5.2 on the next page. This prevents refrigerantmigration to the compressor during "Off" cycles. The maximum recommended vertical-level drop tocondensing unit is 15 ft (4.6 m).

Maximum Condensing Unit LevelAbove Evaporator, ft (m)

Maximum Condensing Unit LevelBelow Evaporator, ft (m)

150 (45) 40 (12) 15 (4.6)

Maximum recommended total equivalent pipe length is 150 ft (46 m). Suction and liquid lines may requireadditional specialty items when vertical lines exceed 20 ft. (6 m) and/or condensing unit installationis more than 15 ft. (4.6 m) below the evaporator. Contact VertivTechnical Support for assistance.

5.2.4 Field-fabricated Refrigeration Piping

Use copper pipe with high-temperature brazed joints for all field-fabricated refrigeration piping. Use abrazing alloy with a minimum temperature of 1350°F (732°C), such as Sil-Fos. Avoid soft solders such as50/50 or 95/5.

1. Measure pipe runs and calculate pipe size and equivalent feet of suction and liquid lines perthe tables in Refrigerant-line Sizes and Equivalent Lengths on page 36.

2. Determine the type of trap to use on the suction line next to the evaporator based on theposition of the condensing unit per Pipe length and condensing unit elevation relative toevaporator on page 35.

3. Determine the number and placement of traps on vertical rises, and install traps on thesuction-line piping at the base of a rise over 5-ft (1.5-m) and every 20-ft (6-m) of vertical rise.

4. The evaporator and condensing units come with an inert-gas holding charge. Releasepressure before cutting the spun-closed end of the piping.

NOTE: You can only evacuate the system properly if you open the hot-gas by-pass and liquid-linesolenoid valves (if equipped) inside the condensing unit and you account for all check valves, seeFigure 5.3 on the facing page. Connect manifold-gauge hoses to the discharge- and suction-lineSchrader ports, remove the solenoid-valve holding coils from the hot-gas by-pass and liquid-linesolenoid valves (if equipped), and apply a solenoid-valve service magnet to the valves to obtain aproper vacuum.

5. Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation of copper-oxide scale inside the piping. A pure dry-nitrogen flow of 1 to 3 ft3/min (0.5 to 1.5 l/s) inside thepipe during brazing is sufficient to displace the air. Control the flow using a suitable meteringdevice.

NOTE: Copper oxide forms when copper is heated in the presence of air. POE oil will dissolve theseoxides from inside the copper pipes and deposit them throughout the system, clogging filter driers andaffecting other system components.

5.2.5 Evacuation and Leak-testing Air-cooled Systems

For proper leak-check and evacuation, you must open all system valves and account for all check valves,see Figure 5.3 on the facing page.

2. Connect manifold-gauge hoses on the discharge- and suction-line Schrader ports, open theservice valves, and place a 150 Psig (1034 kPa) charge of dry nitrogen with a tracer ofrefrigerant, then check the system for leaks with a suitable leak detector.

3. After completion of leak testing, release the test pressure, (observe local code) and pull aninitial deep vacuum of 500 microns on the system with a suitable pump.

4. After 4 hours, check the pressure readings and, if they have not changed, break vacuum withdry nitrogen. Pull a second and third vacuum to 500 microns or less. Re-check the pressureafter 2 hours.When the 3 checks are complete, proceed to Charging Air-cooled Systems below.

5.2.6 Charging Air-cooled Systems

NOTICE

Risk of improper refrigerant charging. Can cause equipment damage.

R-407C is a blended refrigerant and must be introduced and charged from the cylinder only asa liquid.

When adding liquid refrigerant to an operating system, it may be necessary to add therefrigerant through the valve in the compressor suction line. Care must be exercised to avoiddamage to the compressor. We recommend connecting a sight glass between the charginghose and the compressor suction service valve. This will permit adjustment of the cylinderhand valve so that liquid can leave the cylinder while allowing vapor to enter the compressor.

To calculate the charge for the system:

1. Check the nameplate on the indoor unit for refrigerant type to use.

2. Refer to Table 5.9 on page 37, and Table 5.10 on page 38, and calculate the amount ofcharge for the system including the evaporator, condensing unit, and interconnecting piping.


3. Accurately weigh-in as much of the system charge as possible before re-installing coils onliquid-line solenoid valve and hot-gas by-pass solenoid valve, and starting the unit.

5.2.7 Field Charge Verification for Air-cooled Systems

An integral sight glass is provided with the receiver to assist in field-charge verification. During chargeverification, set the control temperature down to keep the system running. If the system is equipped withhot-gas bypass, de-energize it by removing power from the hot-gas solenoid valve coil. To remove power,disconnect the solenoid leads from the unit contactor in the electric box, see Figure 5.3 on page 39.When charge verification is complete, replace and secure all wire connections and covers.During operation at design ambient temperatures, (95 or 105°F; 35 or 41°C) the charge level is above thesight glass in the receiver. If levels are below the sight glass, an under-charge condition is likely. If levelsare above the sight glass and higher discharge pressures than normal are observed, an overchargecondition may be likely. However, verify that other high-discharge pressure causes such as dirty coil andrestricted air flow are not responsible before removing charge.

At temperatures below design ambient temperature, refrigerant backs into the condenser coil and thelevel in the receiver drops below the sight glass. If you are trying to verify charge level at lower ambienttemperatures, block the condenser coil to maintain 240 psig (1655 kPa) discharge pressure to ensure thehead-pressure-control valve is closed. At these conditions the charge level should be above the sightglass in the receiver.

NOTE: If no level is visible in the sight glass, add charge until the level is in the middle of the sight glass.Check the discharge pressure during this procedure and adjust coil restrictions to maintain 240 psig (1655 kPa). Once the charge is in the middle of the sight glass, add additional system charge per Table5.11 below. After charging, unblock the coil and allow the unit to operate normally. After conditionshave stabilized, restrict the coil if required to maintain 240 psig (1655 kPa) discharge pressure andverify that the charge level is above the sight glass.

5.2.8 Documenting Refrigerant Charge on Air-cooled Units

When the unit is charged, you must record the total system charge value on the condensing unit's serialtag. The total system charge includes the evaporator, condensing unit, and interconnecting lines.

5.2.9 Optimizing Refrigerant Charge on Water/Glycol Units

1. Operate the unit at full heat load, normal room conditions and normal water/glycol fluidtemperatures for a minimum of 30 minutes before measuring stable unit superheat andsubcooling temperatures and adjusting charge levels.

• Condensing temperatures should be in range of 100 to 130°F (38 to 54°C) depending onfluid type and fluid temperature.

• Full heat load is required to stabilize the system.


2. Attach pressure and temperature instruments to the liquid line of the condensing unit. Use thefactory-installed Schrader valve located in the liquid line of the condenser. Measure the initialsubcooling.

NOTE: To determine subcooling measurement, a liquid-line pressure reading (at the factory-installedSchrader tap) must be measured along with the temperature reading on the liquid line. Convert theliquid-line pressure reading into a liquid temperature by utilizing a Pressure-temperature Guide.Subtract the measured temperature from the liquid-saturation temperature. The difference issubcooling.

3. Adjust refrigerant charge levels as needed to achieve subcooling range of 12 to 14°F(6.7 to 7.8°C) while maintaining full load conditions.

Selects Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C) for display readings/setpoints.

HUMIDITY CONTROL METHOD

Selects relative (direct) or absolute (predictive) for humidity control. The LCD displays thepercentage relative humidity for both methods of control and if “absolute” is selected, the adjustedhumidity reading is also displayed.

• If “relative” is selected, the RH control is taken directly from the RH sensor.

• If “absolute” is selected, the RH control automatically adjusts when return-air temperaturedeviates from the desired temperature setpoint (i.e., predictive humidity control). Predictivehumidity control automatically adjusts the humidity level ~2% RH for each degree differencebetween the return air temperature and the temperature setpoint.

For more details about selecting the humidity-control method, see Humidity Control and Over-cooling below.

Humidity Control and Over-cooling

When using the relative (direct) humidity control method, unnecessary dehumidification can result whenover-cooling occurs during a dehumidification cycle. This happens when a higher-than-normal RHreading is caused by over-cooling the room (about 2% RH for each degree of over cooling). Thistemperature drop extends the dehumidification cycle. Later, when dehumidification ends and thetemperature rises to the setpoint, the RH reading falls to a reading lower than actually desired. If thetemperature drop significant enough, the percentage RH could be low enough to activate the humidifier.

Using the absolute (predictive) humidity method may avoid over-dehumidification. When over-coolingcauses an increase in the RH reading, the humidity-control program estimates what the RH will be whenthe dehumidification cycle ends and temperature returns to the setpoint and allows the dehumidificationcycle to end at the proper time. Predictive humidity control can greatly reduce energy consumption byminimizing compressor/reheat operation and eliminating unnecessary operation.


9.2.9 Changing Setpoint and Setup Passwords

When you attempt to make changes, the display prompts you for a 3-digit password. The passwordsprovide system security, so that only authorized personnel may make changes. If unauthorized changesoccur, the passwords may be compromised and new ones should be set.

The system includes two passwords with the following factory-default settings:

• Default set-up password = 3 - 2 - 1

• Default setpoint password = 1 - 2 - 3

To change a password:

First enter the default password, then enter the new password.

NOTE: The password function can be disabled by setting DIP switch 8 in the wall box to OFF and thencycling power to the unit.

9.2.10 Calibrating Sensors and Setting Sensor-response Delay

If you suspect that the temperature and/or humidity readings are not accurate, you can calibrate thesensors to match the display using your portable, calibrated test instrument and the CALIBRATESENSORS menu. The temperature sensor can be calibrated +5°F. The humidity sensor can be calibrated±10% RH.

If the sensors are subject to frequent wide temperature and humidity swings, it may be necessary toshorten the cycling by increasing the sensor time delay. If the sensors are located too close to the airdischarge, they will likely experience rapid swings in measurement. Another method in reducingcompressor cycling is to increase the temperature and/or humidity sensitivity.

The calibration and delay options are:

• SET TEMP CAL—calibrates the temperature sensor ±5°F (±2.8°C).

• SET HUM CAL—calibrates the humidity sensor ±10%.

• SET TEMP DELAY—sets the time-delay for sensor response 10 to 90 seconds (default setting= 50 seconds).

• SET HUMID DELAY—sets the time-delay for sensor response 10 to 90 seconds (default setting= 50 seconds).


To calibrate a sensor:

1. Make sure the unit is operating and has maintained stable operating conditions for at least 15minutes.

2. Place the test instrument as close as possible to the sensors to obtain an accurate reading forcomparison.

3. At the controller, press the MENU key.

4. Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight CALIBRATE SENSORS, then press Enter.

5. Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight a calibration option, then press Enter.

6. Use the Up/Down arrows to adjust the unit's sensor reading to match the reading from the testdevice, then press Enter to store the value.

IMPORTANT! When calibrating the humidity sensor, the calibration value is always displayed in "% RH,"even when absolute humidity control is selected for the unit. If absolute humidity control is selected,the Normal Status Display displays the adjusted reading, which may not agree with the relative humidityreading that displays in calibration.

To set sensor response-time delay:


2. Use the Up/Down arrows to highlight CALIBRATE SENSORS, then press Enter.

9.4 System Control and Performance

This section describes how the Mini-Mate2 responds to operator input and room conditions.

9.4.1 Temperature Control

The following describes the methods of temperature control and determining cooling requirement for thevarious Mini-Mate2 cooling types.

Control-type Response Proportional Control

The percent requirement for temperature control is determined by the difference between the return-airtemperature and the temperature setpoint. As the return air temperature rises above the temperaturesetpoint, the percent cooling required increases proportionally (from 0 to 100%) over a temperature bandequal to the temperature sensitivity plus 1°F. The heating requirement is determined in a similar manneras the temperature decreases below the setpoint. With this control type, the temperature at which theroom is controlled increases as the room load increases. At full load, the room is controlled to atemperature equal to the setpoint plus the sensitivity.

Cooling Operation for Compressorized (DX) Systems

Cooling is activated when the temperature control calculates a cooling requirement of 100% anddeactivated when the cooling requirement drops below 50%. Hot-gas bypass is activates when a call forcooling occurs unless there is also a call for dehumidification.

Mode Hot-gas bypass

Cooling only ON

Dehumidification only OFF

Coolingwith Dehumidification OFF

Table 9.9 Hot-gas bypass response to cooling and dehumidification modes

Cooling Operation for Chilled-water Systems

The chilled-water control valve is adjusted by a slow-acting motor based on cooling and dehumidificationrequirements.

Cooling Operation for DX Systems with Free-cooling Coil

When free-cooling is available, the freecooling control valve is adjusted by a slow-acting motor based oncooling and dehumidification requirements.

9.4.2 Reheat

The following describes the methods of reheat control and determining reheat requirement for thevarious Mini-Mate2 cooling types.


Ground Current Detector

A Ground Current Detector (GCD) is factory-installed on all units with reheat. The GCD detects reheatleakage current and shuts-down operation of the reheat. A steady-green LED indicates that the reheat isoperating properly. A red LED indicates that the reheat has failed and both the reheat element and GCDmust be replaced.

WARNING! Risk of ground-fault protection failure. Can cause smoke, fire, equipment andbuilding damage, injury, or death. Do not remove or disable the ground current detector.

Figure 9.5 Ground-current detector

Electric or Hot Water Reheat

The reheat stage activates when the temperature control calculates a requirement of 100%. The reheat isdeactivates when the heat requirement is 50% less than the activation point.

SCR Electric Reheat

The SCR proportionally controls the stainless-steel reheat feature to maintain the selected roomtemperature. The rapid cycling of the SCR controller provides precise temperature control, while theconstant element temperature improves heater life. During SCR operation, the compressors operatecontinuously and the heaters are modulated to provide temperature control.

The display status shows when the unit is cooling and heating. The control automatically locks thecompressor cooling in the “ON” position except when the temperature falls below the low-temperature-alarm setpoint. When temperature falls below the low-temperature setpoint, cooling is disabled until theroom temperature reaches this minimum temperature setpoint.


9.4.3 Humidity Control

The following describes the methods of humidity control and determininghumidification/dehumidification requirement for the various Mini-Mate2 cooling types.

Humidification Operation

The humidifier activates when the humidity control calculates a 100% humidification requirement, and itis deactivates when the humidification requirement falls below 50%.

Dehumidification/Humidification Percent Required

The humidity control for the Mini-Mate2 is based on a calculated percent requirement fordehumidification or humidification. The percent requirement is calculated from the difference betweenthe sensor reading and the humidity setpoint, divided by the sensitivity. The control method is selectablebetween relative and absolute. "Relative" humidity control is the default.

Dehumidification Operation for Compressorized (DX) Systems

Dehumidification in the standard configuration operates the compressor without the hot-gas bypassactive. The fan operates at low speed unless the cooling requirement reaches 100%. At 100% coolingrequirement, the low-speed fan is disabled (unless manually overridden) until the cooling requirementdecreases to 0%. Dehumidification is also disabled if the heating requirement exceeds 125% and is re-enabled when the heating requirement reaches 50%.

Dehumidification Lockout

Dehumidification is locked out if over cooling occurs. Dehumidification is disabled at 125% (first stage) and200% (all stages) heating requirement. Dehumidification is re-enabled at 66% and 33% heatingrequirement.

9.4.4 Load Control

The control system monitors the compressor and prevents it from turning on within a 3-minute period ofbeing off. If this on-off-on cycle occurs too often (for example: 10 times in a one-hour period), a Short CycleAlarm occurs.

9.4.5 Monitoring

9.5 Alarm Notification, Acknowledgment and Descriptions

The microprocessor control system audibly and visually signals all enabled alarms including customalarms. See Configuring Custom Alarms on page 63, for settings and customization options.

When a new alarm occurs, it is displayed on the screen and the audible alarm is activated. (Ifcommunicating with a Liebert® Monitoring product, the alarm is also transmitted). The message “PRESSALARM SILENCE” prompts you to silence the alarm. After the alarm is silenced, the display return to theNormal Status display. Alarms can also be silenced through communication with a Liebert® Monitoringproduct unit. See Viewing Active Alarms on page 57.


Many alarms reset automatically when the alarm condition is no longer represented and after it has beenacknowledged by being silenced. The exceptions are:

• Software alarms—Loss of Power alarms reset automatically 30 seconds after being silenced oracknowledged. Short Cycle alarms reset automatically 90 minutes after being silenced oracknowledged.

• Alarms that monitor overload or high-pressure switches may require a manual reset dependingupon the model.

The following sections describe and provide troubleshooting suggestions for each type of alarm. SeeTroubleshooting on page 95 for additional details. If you need further assistance, contact your Vertivrepresentative.

NOTE: Alarms are specific at the time the unit is ordered. Additional devices and wiring at the factorymay be required for some alarms.

9.5.1 Custom Alarms

Custom alarm(s) messages are programmed at the LCD display. The message displayed may be includedin a list of provided alarms or it may be customized text (for up to two alarms). See Configuring CustomAlarms on page 63.

IMPORTANT! If using custom text messages, notifymaintenance personnel of the alarm function andrequired action.

9.5.2 High Head-Pressure Alarm

Compressor head pressure is monitored with a pressure-sensor switch. (One SPDT pressure switch isused per refrigeration circuit). If head pressure exceeds 400 psig (2760 kPag), the switch turns off thecompressor contactor and sends an input signal to the control.

Acknowledge the condition by pressing the alarm silence button on the wall box, which will clear if thehigh head pressure is alleviated.

If the head pressure alarm activates 3 times, the alarm locks until the unit is serviced. After the headpressure problem is fixed, reset the control by disconnecting power to the evaporator unit.

To address a high head-pressure alarm:

• On air-cooled systems—check for power shut off to the condensing unit, condensing unit fannot working, defective head pressure control valves, dirty condenser coils or crimped lines. Also,make sure that side switch on the compressor contactors close to energize the condensing-unit control circuit.

• On water/glycol-cooled systems—Check water regulating valves. Verify water/glycol flow(pumps are operating and service valves are open). Is water tower or drycooler operating? Isthe coolant temperature entering the condensing unit at or below design conditions? Is AUXrelay (terminals 70 & 71) operating during cooling to turn on the drycooler?


9.5.3 Humidity-level Alarms

The humidity alarm may be activated under the following conditions:

• High: The room return-air humidity exceeds the pre-set high-humidity alarm setpoint. Is theunit set up for dehumidification? Check DIP switch.

• Low: The room return-air humidity is below the low-humidity alarm setpoint. Is the unit setupfor humidification? Check DIP switch.

• High and Low Humidity (simultaneously): The simultaneous display of two alarms results in lossof the humidity input signal, and dashes (- - -) are displayed for the humidity reading on thedisplay. If this condition occurs, the control system deactivates both humidification anddehumidification. Check for a disconnected cable or failed sensor.

NOTE: Check for proper setpoints. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoorhumidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air?

9.5.4 Temperature-level Alarms

The temperature-level alarm may be activated under the following conditions:

• High: Room return-air temperature increases to the high-temperature alarm setpoint. Checkfor proper setpoint value. Is the room load more than the unit can handle (unit capacity is toosmall)? Make sure cooling components are operating (compressor or valves).

• Low: The room return-air temperature decreases to the low-temperature alarm setpoint. Checkfor proper setpoint value. Make sure all heating components are operating (contactors,reheats, etc.). Are reheats drawing the proper current (refer to amp rating on nameplate)?

• High and Low Simultaneously: The simultaneous display of the two alarms results in loss of thetemperature input signal (or the humidity is out of sensor range-15 to 85% RH), and dashes(---) are displayed for the temperature reading on the display. If this condition occurs, thecontrol system initiates 100% cooling. Check for a disconnected cable or a failed sensor.

NOTE: Check for proper setpoints. Does the room have a vapor barrier to seal it from outdoorhumidity? Are doors or windows open to outside air?

9.5.5 Humidifier-problem Alarm

The Humidifier Problem alarm sounds and displays a message if any of the humidifier conditionsdescribed in Table 9.10 below, occur. The Humidifier's control-board fault-indicator LED assists indetermining the issue.

Fault Condition LED Indicator

Overcurrent detection Lit constant

Fill system fault 1-second flash

Replace tank 1/2-second flash

Table 9.10 Humidifier faults and LED indicator

9.5.6 High-water Alarm

A float switch in the evaporator pan shuts down the evaporator when a high water level occurs. Clear thedrain and reset power to the unit to clear the alarm.


9.5.7 Loss-of-Power Alarm

The Loss of Power alarm activates (after power is restored to the unit) if the unit has lost power or thedisconnect switch was incorrectly turned off before the unit’s On switch was pressed. A Liebert® remotemonitoring unit (optional) will immediately indicate loss of power.

9.5.8 Short Cycle Alarm

A Short Cycle alarm occurs if the compressor system exceeds 10 cooling-start attempts in a 1-hour period.This may happen if the refrigerant level is low or if the cooling load is small compared to the unit’scapacity. Check for leaks, crimped lines and defective components. If the cooling load is low, increasesensitivity to reduce cycle.

9.5.9 Loss of Water Flow Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type, unit options and alarmcustomization.

The Loss of Water Flow alarm occurs if no water flow is detected in the chilled-water or condensing unitwater-supply line. An external flow switch is required for this alarm. Determine whether service valves areclosed, pumps are not working, etc.

9.5.10 Change-filter Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type and alarm customization.

Periodically, the return-air filters in the evaporator must be changed. The Change Filter alarm indicatesthat filter replacement is necessary. A differential air-pressure switch closes when the pressure dropacross the filters becomes excessive. The switch is adjustable using the procedure on the switch label.

9.5.11 High-temperature Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type and alarm customization.

The high-temperature alarm occurs when the temperature exceeds high temperature sensor setpoint of125°F (52°C). The optional high temperature sensor is a bi-metal operated sensing device with a closedswitch under normal conditions. Connected between pins 1-8 and 1-9, this device shuts down the entireunit.

9.5.12 Smoke Alarm

NOTE: This alarm may not be available depending on cooling type, unit options, and alarmcustomization.

The smoke alarm occurs when the smoke sensor detects smoke. The sensor constantly samples return-airthrough a tube. The sensor's power supply is located in the electric panel. The smoke sensor shuts downthe unit upon detecting smoke, and activates visual and audible alarms. This smoke sensor is notintended to function as or replace any room smoke-detection system that may be required by local ornational codes. Locate the source of the smoke and follow appropriate emergency procedures.

Test Reheat by setting the setpoint to 10°F (5°C) above room temperature. A call for heating shouldregister and prompt the equipment to begin heating cycle. (Disregard any temperature alarms). Uponcompletion of testing, return the setpoint to the desired temperature.

NOTE: Units with hot-gas reheat cannot be tested in this manner. The heating function is onlyactivated during dehumidification and is designed to offset cooling load of the unit.

10.1.4 Humidification Test

To check humidification, set the humidity setpoint at 10% RH above the room humidity reading. After ashort delay, the canister will fill with water and steam will be produced. Upon completion of testing, returnthe humidity setpoint to the desired humidity.

10.1.5 Dehumidification Test

Test dehumidification by setting the humidity setpoint at 10% RH below room relative humidity. Thecompressor should turn on and the fan should switch to low speed. Upon completion of testing, return thehumidity setpoint to the desired humidity.


10.1.6 Smoke Sensor Test

The smoke sensor is located in the unit, and the power supply for the smoke sensor is located in theelectric panel. It constantly samples return air through a tube. No adjustments are required.

10.1.7 Remote Shutdown Test

A connection point is provided for remote shutdown devices supplied by the customer. This terminal stripis on the printed circuit board. (Terminals TB1-4 and TB1-5 are fitted with a jumper when no remoteshutdown device is installed.)

10.2 Filter Maintenance

Experience shows that filters are usually the most neglected item in an environmental control system. Inorder to maintain efficient operation, they should be checked monthly and changed as required.

NOTE: Always turn power off before removing filters.

Filters can be replaced by opening the hinged door on the return air filter box or by opening the return airgrille (grille version only). Replacement filters are commercially available in several efficiencies, contactyour Vertiv representative for appropriate filter sizes.

10.3 Electric Panel Maintenance

Inspect the electric panel on a semi-annual basis for any loose electrical connections.

10.4 Direct-drive Blower Package Maintenance

Inspect the blower package monthly including: motor mounts, fan bearings and impellers.

10.4.1 Fan Impeller and Motor Bearing Maintenance

Inspect fan impellers thoroughly and remove any debris. Check to see if the impellers are tightly mountedon the fan shaft and that they do not rub against the fan housing during rotation. Although the unit'smotor bearings are permanently sealed and self-lubricating, inspect them monthly for signs of wear.

10.4.2 Air Distribution Inspection

Because all unit models are designed for constant volume air delivery, any unusual restrictions within theair circuit must be avoided. Note that high-efficiency filters can reduce air performance and evaporatorcapacity.

10.4.3 Motor Replacement

If the evaporator motor needs to be replaced, first remove the air distribution plate on the bottom of theunit. Removing the mounting screws, allows the entire blower wheel and motor to be lifted out.

10.5 Electric Reheat Maintenance

Reheat element sheets and fins are manufactured with stainless steel. Regular inspections are necessaryto assure proper cleanliness of the reheating element. If inspection reveals corrosion particles on thereheating element or adjoining surfaces (including ducts and plenums), perform appropriate cleaning.Periodic replacement of the reheating element may be necessary to meet specific applicationrequirements.

10 Maintenance 79

10.6 Refrigeration System Maintenance

Inspect the components of the refrigeration system monthly for proper function and signs of wear.Because evidence of malfunction is typically present before component failure, periodic inspections aremajor factor in the prevention of most system failures. Refrigerant lines must be properly supported andnot allowed to vibrate against ceilings, floors, or unit frame. Inspect all refrigerant lines every 6 months forsigns of wear and proper support. Inspect the capillary and equalizer lines from the expansion valve.

10.6.1 Refrigeration Suction Pressure

Suction pressure will vary with load conditions. Suction pressure normally ranges from 58 psi to 75 psi(405 kPa to 517 kPa).

10.6.2 Refrigeration Discharge Pressure

The discharge pressure will vary greatly with load and ambient conditions, see Table 10.1 below. Thehigh-pressure switch shuts down the compressor at its cut-out setting.

System Design Discharge Pressure, psig (kPa)

Air-Cooled 200-300 (1380-2070)

Water-Cooled 65 to 85°F water (18 to 29.4°C) 200-250 (1380-1725)

Glycol-Cooled 250-350 (1725-2415)

High-Pressure Cut-Out 400 (2760)

Table 10.1 Typical Discharge Pressures

10.6.3 Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) Maintenance

The TXV performs one function: It keeps the evaporator supplied with enough refrigerant to satisfy loadconditions. It does not affect compressor operation.

Proper valve operation can be determined by measuring superheat. The correct superheat setting isbetween 10 and 15°F (5.6 and 8.3°C). If too little refrigerant is being fed to the evaporator, the superheatwill be high. If too much refrigerant is being supplied, the superheat will be low.

10.6.4 Air-Cooled Condensing Unit Maintenance

Restricted airflow will reduce operating efficiency and could result in high compressor-head pressure andloss of cooling.

• Clear coil surface of all debris that will inhibit airflow.

• Check for bent or damaged coil fins and correct.

• Do not permit snow to accumulate around or under outdoor unit.

• Periodically consider commercial cleaning of coil surface

• Inspect fans, motors and controls for proper operation.

• Check all piping and capillaries for vibration and proper support.

• Inspect all refrigerant lines for signs of oil leaks.

• Check contactors for pitting. Replace if pitted.


10.6.5 Hot Gas Bypass Operation and Maintenance

When applying hot-gas bypass with split system condensing units, bypassing discharge gas to thecompressor suction line offers more flexibility than conventional hot-gas bypass to the evaporator unit.

The hot-gas bypass valve is installed between the compressor discharge piping and suction piping,bypassing the condenser and evaporator coils. The discharge gas mixes with the suction gas, raising thesuction temperature and pressure and decreasing the mass flow through the evaporator. The highersuction temperatures could cause compressor overheating, therefore a separate, liquid-quenching valveis provided to mix refrigerant from the system liquid line with the discharge gas before mixing with thesuction gas entering the compressor.

During normal operation, when the evaporator is under full load, the hot-gas bypass equalizer pressurewill remain high enough to keep the valve port closed. If the evaporator load decreases, the evaporatortemperature and pressure will drop. When the suction pressure reduces below the hot-gas-bypass valvesetting the hot-gas-bypass valve opens diverting some of the refrigerant flow back to the compressorsuction. The liquid-quenching valve bulb senses this increased superheat and opens, allowing liquidrefrigerant to mix with the discharge gas, de-superheating it.

Proper mixing of the three refrigerant paths ensures stable operation and system performance. Theliquid-quenching valve bulb must be located downstream of all these connections to control superheat atthe compressor inlet. Superheat settings for the liquid-quenching valve are chosen to maintainconsistency with the system expansion valve. During hot-gas bypass operation, higher superheats,50 to 60°F (28 to 33°C), may be observed at the compressor. The liquid-quenching valve is internallyequalized and superheat is not adjustable.

To adjust hot-gas bypass:

1. Install the suction and discharge pressure gauge.

2. Adjust temperature setpoint to call for cooling so that the refrigeration compressor will runcontinuously.

3. Remove the TOP adjusting nut from the valve.

4. Insert an Allen wrench in the brass hole at top of valve in adjusting port, and turn CLOCKWISEif a higher evaporator temperature is required. Adjust no more than 1/4 turn at a time. Let thesystem stabilize for 15 minutes before determining if additional adjustment are necessary.


5. After obtaining the suction pressure required, reinstall cap tightly making sure there are noleaks.

6. Let the evaporator operate for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to make sure the suctionpressure is within the range desired.

7. There may be a fluctuation of approximately 3 to 6 psig (21 to 41 kPa) on the evaporator due tothe differential on the hot gas bypass.

8. Return temperature setpoint to the desired setting.

10.6.6 Coaxial Condenser Maintenance (Water/Glycol-cooled Condensers Only)

Each water or glycol-cooled module has a coaxial condenser consisting of an exterior steel tube and aninterior copper tube. Clean the screen on the field-installed Y-strainer (if installed). If the water supply isclean, coaxial condensers do not normally require maintenance or replacement. If your system begins tooperate at high head pressure with reduced capacity and all other causes have been eliminated, thecondenser may be obstructed or fouled and should be cleaned or replaced.

10.6.7 Regulating Valve Maintenance (Water/Glycol-cooled Condensers Only)

The water-regulating valve automatically regulates the amount of fluid necessary to remove the heatfrom the refrigeration system, permitting more fluid to flow when load conditions are high and less fluid toflow when load conditions are low. The valve consists of a brass body, balance spring, valve seat, valve discholders, capillary tube to discharge pressure and adjusting screw.

The water regulating valve begins opening at 180 psig (1240 kPag) and is fully opened at 240 psig (1655kPag). The valve is factory-set and should not need adjustment. There is significant difference in the waystandard-pressure and high-pressure valves are adjusted. Consult Vertiv technical support.

10.6.8 Glycol Solution Maintenance

It is difficult to establish a specific schedule of inhibitor maintenance because the rate of inhibitordepletion depends upon local water conditions. Analysis of water samples at the time of installation andthrough a maintenance program should help to establish a pattern of depletion. A visual inspection of thesolution and filter residue is often helpful in judging whether active corrosion is occurring.

The complexity of water/glycol solution condition problems and the variations of required treatmentprograms make it extremely important to obtain the advice of a competent and experienced water-treatment specialist and follow a regularly-scheduled coolant-fluid system-maintenance program. It isimportant to note that improper use of water treatment chemicals can cause problems more serious thanusing none. Proper inhibitor maintenance must be performed in order to prevent corrosion of the glycolsystem. Consult the glycol manufacturer for testing and maintenance of inhibitors. Do not mix productsfrom different manufacturers.

10 Maintenance 83

10.7 Compressor Maintenance



CAUTION: Risk of contacting caustic substances. Can cause injury. Avoid touching orcontacting the gas and oils with exposed skin. Severe burns will result. Wear appropriate,OSHA-approved PPE when handling contaminated parts.

Infrequently, a fault in the motor insulation may result in a motor burnout (if system is properly installed,motor burnout rarely occurs). Primarily, this type of failure is due to mechanical or lubrication problems,where the burnout is a secondary consequence.

Early detection can prevent a large percentage of the problems that can cause compressor failures.Periodic maintenance inspections that identify abnormal operation can be a major factor in reducingmaintenance costs. It is easier and more cost-effective to implement the necessary preventative stepsthat ensure proper system operation, rather than ignore a problem until it results in compressor failureand costly replacement. When troubleshooting a compressor problem, check all electrical components forproper operation:

• Check all fuses and circuit breakers.

• Check pressure switch operation.

• If a compressor failure has occurred, determine whether its cause is an electrical or mechanicalproblem.

10.7.1 Mechanical Failure of the Compressor

If you determine that a mechanical failure has occurred, the compressor must be replaced. If a burnoutoccurs, correct the problem and clean the system. It is important to note that successive burnouts of thesame system are usually caused by improper cleaning. If a severe burnout has occurred, the oil will beblack and acidic.


10.7.2 Electrical Failure of the Compressor

In the event of an electrical failure and subsequent burnout of the refrigeration compressor motor, properprocedures must be followed to thoroughly remove any acids that would cause a future failure. There aretwo kits that can be used with a complete compressor burnout - Sporlan System Cleaner and Alco Dri-Kleener. Follow the manufacturer's procedure.

NOTE: Damage to a replacement compressor due to improper system cleaning constitutes abuseunder the terms of the warranty, thereby voiding the warranty.

10.7.3 Replacement Compressors

Replacement compressors are available from your Vertiv supplier and are shipped to the job site in areusable crate (as required by the service contractor). If the compressor is under warranty, you mustreturn it to Vertiv, to receive proper warranty credit. Returned it in the same container in which thereplacement compressor was shipped. Record the possible cause(s) or condition(s) of the damage on theprovided return tag.

10.7.4 Replacing a Failed Compressor

1. Disconnect power

2. Attach suction and discharge gauges to access fittings.

3. Recover refrigerant using standard recovery procedures and equipment. Use a filter-drierwhen charging the system with recovered refrigerant.

NOTE: Release of refrigerant to the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and unlawful.Refrigerant must be recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state and local regulations.

4. Remove failed compressor.

5. Install replacement compressor and make all connections.

• Use a flow of dry nitrogen through the piping during brazing to prevent formation ofcopper oxide scale inside the piping. Copper oxide forms when copper is heated in thepresence of air. POE oil will dissolve these oxides from inside the copper pipes and depositthem throughout the system, clogging filter driers and affecting other systemcomponents.

• A pure dry nitrogen flow of 1-3 ft3/min (0.5-1.5 l/s) inside the pipe during brazing issufficient to displace the air. Control the flow using a suitable metering device. Pressurizeand leak test the system at approximately 150 psig (1034 kPa) pressure.

6. Follow manufacturer's instructions for clean-out kits.

7. Evacuate the system twice to 500 microns. Break the vacuum each time with clean, drynitrogen.

8. Evacuate the system a third time to 500 microns.

9. Charge the system with refrigerant (R-407C) based on requirements of the evaporator,condensing unit, and lines. Refer to the unit nameplate.

10. Apply power and operate the system. Check for proper operation. Refer to Table 10.1 onpage 80.

10 Maintenance 85

10.8 Steam-generating Humidifier Maintenance

The humidifier drains and refills to maintain a current setpoint and alert the operator when the humidifiercanister needs to be replaced.



WARNING! Risk of smoke and fire. Can cause activation of fire suppression systems, buildingevacuation, dispatching of fire/rescue equipment and personnel and catastrophic canisterfailure resulting in water leaks, equipment damage, injury or death. Using a humidifier canisterthat has reached the end of it’s service life can be extremely hazardous. If the canister cannotbe replaced immediately at the end of life condition, turn Off the power and water supply to thehumidifier and remove the canister until a replacement canister can be installed. Do not ignorehumidifier problem alarms. Resetting humidifier without addressing cause may result in fire ordamage due to leaking water.

CAUTION: Risk of contact with hot surfaces. Can cause burn injury. The humidifier canisterand steam discharge lines are extremely hot during operation. Allow sufficient time for them tocool to a touch-safe temperature before handling. Use extreme caution and wear appropriate,OSHA-approved PPE when performing maintenance on the humidifier.

After an extended period of operation, in accordance with life-expectancy information, the cylinder iscompletely used as indicated by the amber high-water sensor light illuminated on the cabinet. Then thiscondition is reached, a new replacement cylinder must be installed.

NOTE: The amber high-water sensor light may come on during initial start-up, but this instance doesnot indicate that the cylinder should be replaced.

The steam cylinder is disposable and must be replaced at the end of the cylinder's life. Cylinder life willvary according to water-supply conditions and humidifier use.


10.8.1 Operating the Humidifier

1. During start-up, when the humidity control calls for humidification, the fill valve opens andallows water to enter the canister. When the water level reaches the electrodes, current flowsand the water begins to warm. The canister fills until the amperage reaches the setpoint andthe fill valve closes. As the water warms, its conductivity increases and the current flow, in turn,rises. If the current reaches 115% of the normal operating current, the drain valve opens anddrains some of the water out of the canister. This reduces electrode contact with the water andlowers the current flow to the amperage setpoint. Boiling soon commences, and the canisteroperates normally.

2. If the conductivity of the water is low, the canister fills and the water level reaches the canisterfull electrode before the current setpoint is reached. The humidifier stops filling to preventoverflow. Boiling should commence in time. As water is boiled off, the mineral concentration inthe canister increases and current flow also increases. The canister eventually reaches fulloutput and goes to normal operation. No drain is permitted until then.

3. When full output is reached the circuit board starts a time cycle which is factory-set at 60seconds. During this repeating time cycle, the fill valve will open periodically to replenish thewater being boiled off and maintain a “steady state” output at the setpoint. The amperagevariance depends on the conductivity of the water.

4. After many cycles, the mineral concentration in the canister becomes too high. When thisoccurs, the water boils too quickly. As the water quickly boils off and less of the electrode isexposed, the current flow decreases. When the current crosses the low threshold point beforethe end of the time cycle, the drain valve opens, draining the mineral-laden water out andreplacing it with fresh water. This lowers the mineral concentration and returns the canister to“steady state” operation and prolongs canister life. The frequency of drains depends on waterconductivity.

5. Over a period of time, the electrode surface becomes coated with a layer of insulating material,which causes a drop in current flow. As this happens, the water level in the canister will slowlyrise exposing new electrode surface to the water to maintain normal output. Eventually, thesteady-state water level will reach the canister-full electrode and indicate so by activating thecanister full alarm and opening the humidifier contactor. At this point, all of the electrodesurface has been used up and the canister must be replaced.

6. After the entire electrode surface has been coated, the output will slowly begin to fall off. Thisusually occurs in the last several hours of electrode life and should allow enough time toschedule maintenance. During these last hours, the mineral concentration can increase. If themineral concentration is too high, arcing can occur. If the electrodes start to arc, turn off thehumidifier immediately and replace the canister with the identical part.

10.8.2 Replacing the Canister

The humidifier RUN/DRAIN switch is located in humidifier assembly. This switch should be in the RUNposition when the humidifier is in normal operation. It should be in the DRAIN position when a manualdrain for service is required. The electronic control board for the humidifier is located in the same area asthe humidifier assembly. When the unit is energized, power is available to the humidifier circuits.

1. Turn off the humidifier by lowering the humidity setpoint below the ambient humidity level.

Record the original setpoint.

2. Place the RUN/DRAIN switch in the DRAIN position to drain the water from the canister.

3. Return the RUN/DRAIN switch to the RUN position after the canister has drained.

10 Maintenance 87

4. Turn Off the power at the main unit.

5. Remove the cover from the humidifier cabinet

6. Locate the power wires to the steam canister. They are connected to the canister with 1/4-inquick connects. Make note of the wiring configuration before removing any wires. Refer to theschematic on the unit. Slide the rubber boot back to expose the connections. Remove the two(2) power wires and the canister wire. Do not loosen the screws that secure the electrodes.

7. Loosen the steam outlet hose clamps and slide the steam hose away from the canister fitting.

8. Release the canister clamp along the base of the canister.The canister is now ready to be removed.

9. Remove the canister.

10. Reverse these steps to replace the canister, taking special not of the following:

• When replacing wiring, connect the red wire from terminal #1 on the interface to the redtip terminal on the canister. Reconnect the power wires as they were formerly connected(#2 on the left and #1 on the right).

• Always check the fill and drain solenoids for proper operation after replacing the canister.

10.8.3 Circuit Board Adjustments

Humidifier operation is governed by the humidifier control board. There are three potentiometersmounted on the board. These pots can be used to adjust for extreme water conductivity conditions andcapacity.

POT2 controls the amperage at which the drain will energize. The pot is clearly marked in percentages.This adjustment is factory-set at 85%, which indicates that the unit will drain when the amperage falls offto 85% of the capacity setpoint. Raising the value increases the frequency of drain cycles. Lowering thevalue decreases the frequency of drain cycles. The frequency should be increased for highly conductivewater and decreased for less conductive water. If adjustment is necessary and a change of three to fourpercent in either direction does not permit normal operation of the unit, consult your Vertiv supplier.

POT1 controls the duration of the drain cycle. The pot is clearly marked in seconds. This adjustment isfactory-set at 60 seconds and should not be readjusted without consulting your Vertiv supplier.

POT3 is factory-set at 100%. The maximum capacity of the system is not field adjustable.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. The DIP switches must be setexactly as indicated in 10.8.3 above. Failure to correctly set the DIP switches may result in anelectrical or water hazard.

The DIP switch sets the capacity of the humidifier. If you replace the humidifier, set the DIP switches onthe circuit board based on the voltage and capacity of your unit shown in Table 10.2 below.
